George Thompson, of Prairie du Chen
Wis, has been introducing throughout
Central Dakota, so his card states, the
Church Hugging society. The very lat
est and best paStime is the Hugging so
ciety. 1t helps to ''lift the debt" and is
very popular, especially with the old
maids. Churches that have tried it find
that the men all get there. They adopt
a regular scale of prices which range as
follows: Girls under sixteen years OF
age, 20 cents for each hug of two min
utes; from sixteen to twenty years of
age, 80 cents; schoolmarms, 40 cents
another mans wife, 81; widows, accord
ing to looks, from 10 cents to 81; old
maids, 3 cents apiece or two for nickle
and without limit to time. Ministers
are not charged. Editors pay in adver-
Using, and conductors and red-headed
widowers are charged extra on above
rates and are compelled to wait until all
others have got through. 1t may not be
amiSS to remark that Mr.. Thompson also
| carries soap as side line.

Tom Conner has resigned his position
as travelling salesman with Conrad, the
Saltwater cigar manufacturer, and will
open a fine SALOON at Duluth July l. The
saloon fixtures are to be on scale of
elegance rivaling Graus' old place on
Wabasha street, in st. Paul, now Billy
Twombly's, and will cost upwards of
$1,000. Conner will be missed from the
circuit, and Jim Patterson will have to
sing the operate stretches alone, but if
any OF his old friends go to Duluth and
don't see Tom, they will be doing
themselves an injury and the free lunch
an injustice.
"YnOt'' writes as follows: I see by
Saturdays Tribune that ''Jack" don't
think much OF the travelling mems
column in the GLOBE. "Jack" is a little
bit.stuck on himself and the Tribune,
butt amount of ''soap'' can make the
knights of the grip go back on the
GLOBE. 1t is fun to see a travelling man
get on train Saturday (s'Jack's day'')
and buy GLOBE and borrow Tribune
OF the news boy, then throw it back after
glancing at Jacks" effusion.

valuable tenor voice is suffering the
effects of bad cold, and Jim has been

Pacific. Jimmy has way of being
popular with everybody, anyway, and
his sales don't fall off.
